Stenography

Stenography is an AI-powered developer assistant that integrates with your workflow to automate documentation generation, code explanation, and reference lookups across codebases. It emphasizes seamless integration, privacy, and accessibility, delivering plain-English explanations, inline documentation, and live examples without requiring you to leave your editor or search multiple sources. The tool offers a VSC (Visual Studio Code) extension, autopilot document generation on save, a powerful API, and browser-based tryouts for quick experiments. It is designed to help developers understand, document, and navigate large codebases with ease while keeping your code local.

How Stenography Works

• Install the VSC Extension to enable autopilot documentation that runs as you work, indexing and describing changes automatically.
• Use the Powerful API to pass in code snippets or files and receive plain-English explanations or generated documentation.
• Try the API in your browser to experiment with explanations, summaries, and documentation generation without leaving your flow.
• The extension and API are designed to hydrate responses with stack overflow suggestions and documentation from across the web, reducing the time spent Googling.
• Stenography emphasizes privacy: it uses a passthrough API and does not store your code on its servers; your code stays on your system.
